From the perspective of the startups, is this an important distinction?
- tptacek 14y agoSure. The YC investment comes with a valuation; they take X% of your company for their funds. The YCVC money is convertible debt and defers valuation to the next round.
- netcan 14y agoBut candidates can view the whole thing as a package can't they? $x at A% valuation + $y at deferred valuation. If a startup needs $95k investment to get started, YC is a viable place to get that. Isn't it?
